Yesterday, Mets GM Omar Minaya told reporters that Orlando Hernandez is no closer to throwing batting practice, let alone starting a game, despite throwing a ‘good’ bullpen session earlier in the week.

According to the New York Post, Hernandez is battling pain in his foot, as well as pain from a recent root canal.

…it used to be a joke, but i seriously can no longer keep track of this guys aches and pains…

By the way, at his blog for the Daily News, Adam Rubin writes about a recent cameo made by Hernandez on a Cuban-themed, Spanish-language variety show on a South Florida TV station.
